English abstract

In the vast realm, of engineering literature there is a set of publications that is often unknown and certainly underutilized: engineering education periodicals and proceedings. These publications can easily be overlooked by engineering faculty, researchers, students, librarians or information professionals, and others who may not be fully aware of their existence or content. There has been a need for a definitive list of such publications for some time. This paper presents an initial list of these hems as the first step to make them more accessible to those in engineering education who may need them. The next step wil1 be to create a descriptive database of these items, briefly detailing their content, stating who publishes them, indicating what indexes or databases they are indexed or 'abstracted in and showing if they are available electronical1y. A, print-out of such a database could serve as an annotated bibliography, a finding guide, and as a checklist of engineering education periodicals and conference proceedings. Such a print-out could then be published by ASEE in its Guide to the Literature series or as an additional conference paper. As a result, the engineering education literature of ASEE and other organizations or publishers could be more easily identified and utilized by those who create it and by those who would benefit the most from it, namely engineering educators.
